The Basics

Conference Calls

Conference Split/Join/Drop

This feature enables the conference master to add (Join) other phones to a conference. The conference master and another member of the conference can leave (Split) the conference for a private conversation. During this time, other conference members remain connected.

The conference master can then Join both of the Split callers back into the conference, or the master can Drop (disconnect) the member he/she is connected to. This feature is performed with Soft Keys, so an LCD phone is required.

Note There are no feature access codes or feature keys for this feature.

Important! You must be a conference master to perform the Split and Drop features.
